When Daniel Bryan announced his retirement a couple weeks ago, he tipped his wifes hand on her future in WWE. Bryan said that he and Brie Bella were looking forward to having kids soon, which would indicate that Brie either is retiring from in-ring competition or taking a long hiatus. Brie is 32 years old, which would make her an elder stateswoman for the Divas roster. Shes been on top of the division as part of Team Bella for nearly two years and been a major focus of the Total Divas television program. There isnt a whole lot left for her to do in WWE. And if Bryans comment about them starting a family is happening soon, then Sundays match could be something of a farewell for Brie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb9OWdhzFQI Its doubtful WWE would pull a title switch to give Brie a big sendoff, but its always possible. Although Charlotte winning cleanly is the logical conclusion, there really are three scenarios here: 1) Charlotte beats Brie cleanly and either injures her or Bella just fades to the background; 2) Brie wins in a shocker and drops the title back to Charlotte on Raw the next night; or 3) Brie wins the title and Charlotte beats her down so badly she vacates the title, setting up the triple threat at Mania.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
